Does anybody have any idea if us getting relegated will have any effect on our Academy status? I know it’s crap anyway and not really productive but I just wondered if it would be affected in any way?

First team league status has no effect on academy status as academy categorisation is audited separately. Obviously the only knock on effect could be if the club didn't feel that the £3m a year investment was viable after relegation and made a change themselves.

Cheers for that. Does make you wonder as with us being the highest status you could have ie Category 1 and apparently how much it takes to get it and keep it, whether we will bother to keep it up. I notice though that Blackburn are Category 1 as well as Sunderland, Fulham, Wolves, Norwich, Middlesbrough, Derby, Reading and Villa so perhaps the club will stick with it and keep producing quality players for the first team  |
